Oct 05, 2023

New Delhi [India], October 5 : The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday launched a scathing attack against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by sharing a graphic portraying him as the mythical character Ravana.
The graphic prominently featured Rahul Gandhi with a bearded visage and seven heads, reminiscent of Ravana.
The poster also linked the Congress leader to George Soros, a billionaire investor who has been accused of being involved in anti-India activities.
The BJP shared the graphic on their official handle of the social media platform 'X, and captioned it, "India is in Danger. He is Evil. Anti Dharma. Anti Ram. His aim is to destroy Bharat."
The graphic ignited a debate on social media, with supporters and critics expressing various opinions about its symbolism and intent. It underscores the intense political rivalry and polarization in India's contemporary political landscape.
Meanwhile, Congress general secretary KC Venugopal called the graphic of Rahul Gandhi posted by BJP, "shameful" and alleged that the BJP wants to murder Rahul Gandhi.
"No words are enough to condemn the 'shameful' graphic on the BJP handle comparing Rahul Gandhi ji to Ravana. Their nefarious intentions are clear, they want to murder him. He, who lost his grandmother and father to assassinations. They withdrew his SPG protection to score petty political points," Venugopal posted on X.
"After evicting him from his secure residence, they haven't allocated another house that he has requested for. All this points to a well-planned conspiracy of the BJP to eliminate their fiercest critic, someone who attacks the very core of their hate-filled ideology," the Congress general secretary added.
